The Arvada Center loses approximately $4 million a year in tax dollars. The majority of their production contracts are "unionized" which explains the exorbitant ticket prices. Perhaps Mr. Johnson can fix this bleeding animal.
Clark Johnson will take over temporarily as interim executive director of the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities , City Manager Mark Deven announced Thursday.
Johnson fills the role being vacated by the resignation last week of Gene Sobczak, who leaves Jan. 6 to become president and CEO of the Colorado Symphony Orchestra.
Johnson joined the Arvada Center in August 2010 as chief operating officer. He’ll retain those duties while filling the larger interim role. Before joining the Arvada Center, Johnson was the city’s assistant manager.
The Arvada Center will conduct a national search for Sobczak’s replacement.
